Sycamore in Rock

Manfrotto 3221WN, cable release

This is another leaf I found (not posed) during my creek visit. I used a circular polarizer to pull some color out in the leaf (leaving reflection of water) and a reflector to gobo some of the overhead light with another one to add a little fill. Comments welcome. Thanks for viewing! - Vince

Oodles of details about WET in this image. It's all composed and presented so well. You really took charge and mastered the light in this image with a wonderful result.

Really enjoying your leaf images. The lighting is superbly handled. Lovely colors and great details on the leaf, rocks and water. Very well done.

Really nice texture to this - I can just feel the cool wet air coming off the rocks and stream.

Very nice use of the reflectors and strong composition. I like the fact you eased of on the polarizor leaving some glare on the water. This also works very well as an intimate landscape.
